Achievements in calligraphy

Shu Tong is the inheritor and pioneer of Chinese calligraphy, the founder and first chairman of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, and later the second and third honorary Chairman, honorary president of the Chinese Elderly Calligraphy and Painting Research Association. Chairman Mao Zedong praised him as "a calligrapher of the Red Army and a pen in the party" and a self-contained contemporary calligraphy master.

"Seven and a Half Minutes"

Shu Tong is the inheritor and pioneer of Chinese calligraphy. He loved calligraphy since he was a child. He learned calligraphy at the age of 5 and gained local reputation at the age of 14. Known as a "child prodigy" and "a gifted scholar from Dongxiang". He once systematically copied ancient inscriptions and learned from famous calligraphers such as Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, and He Shaoji. However, he learned from the past but did not follow the past. He respected the method and sought new changes. He also paid attention to the essence of the calligraphy and boldly tried it. He gradually formed his own calligraphy style and created the famous calligraphy style. Its "body comfort" is highly praised at home and abroad. His calligraphy is broad and dignified, round and graceful, with a long and heavy pen, hiding the head and protecting the tail, thick and smooth dots and strokes, and unique style. He is one of the outstanding representatives of modern calligraphy art. The so-called Shu Ti is to start from the "two kings", take Yan and Liu Zhikai as the basis, take the strengths of each style, use the power of roundness, use the power of hidden edge, combine skill with clumsiness, borrow from the past to the present, and create a unique style , set up the "seven and a half" font. This "seven and a half points" can be said to be the essence of Shu style calligraphy. One point each for Kai, Xing, Cao, Zhuan and Li for structure, one point each for Yan and Liu for style, and half a point for He Shaoji. Called "seven and a half".

The "seven and a half" font fully reflects the profound foundation and facial features of Shu style characters. It should be said that the formation of Shu style calligraphy is not only an arduous exploration of calligraphy skills, but more importantly, the tempering of will and perseverance. Shu Tong's career in Mohai started from the time when he was well-known in the countryside at the age of 14, until he died of illness at the age of 93, nearly 80 years ago. In the long years, whether it was the smoke-filled battlefield or the turmoil of the "Ten Years of Catastrophe", whether it was Whether at a busy job or in the "cowshed" where he was killed and beaten, he formed an indissoluble bond with calligraphy and never stopped his artistic research and practice. The body is round and powerful, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, broad and dignified, graceful and generous. With its unique style, it embodies the revolutionary spirit and general demeanor, and is deeply cherished by people. Nowadays, Shuti has been input into computers and widely used in newspapers, magazines, movies, and TV shows, showing its unique charm.

After Shu Tong joined the Red Army, he has been engaged in propaganda work in the regiment and division. In addition to the intense war, he devoted himself to calligraphy and writing. When he followed the 1st Red Army on the long march to northern Shaanxi, he wrote large slogans along the way, which made his body covered with lime and had many holes burned in his clothes. During the march, without pen and paper, Shu Tong picked up branches and scratched on the ground; while riding on the horse, he also used his fingers to scratch on his trouser legs. Once Mao Zedong saw it and said with a smile: "Shu Tong, you have become a horseback calligrapher." From then on, the reputation of "horseback calligrapher" spread.

In 1936, when the Red Army arrived in Xunyi County under the jurisdiction of the Northern Shaanxi Border Region Government, in order to unite in the war of resistance, the Communist Party of China planned to invite a local former Qing Dynasty Hanlin to serve as a border region senator. The old master said, "I can't talk to uneducated people" and refused to participate. After Mao Zedong found out, he asked Shu Tong to write him a letter in the name of the Central Committee to promote our party's idea of ??the anti-Japanese united front. After reading the letter, the former Qing Dynasty veteran repeatedly said: "The words are beautiful and elegant, I never thought there are talents in the Communist Party!" Then he came out to participate in politics.

In 1936, the China Anti-Japanese Military and Political University was founded in Yan'an. The comrades responsible for the preparations asked Mao Zedong to write a school sign.

At this time, Mao Zedong was busy writing "On Practice". He couldn't find time for a while, so he recommended to the visitor: "Go and ask Shu Tong from the 1st Army Corps to write it. His handwriting is very good! I appreciate it very much." That's it. Shu Tong, then director of the Political Department of the 4th Division of the 1st Red Army Corps, was ordered to write the school sign of "China Anti-Japanese Military and Political University" and also wrote the school motto of "Unity, Tension, Seriousness, and Liveliness" on the left and right sides of the gate. From then on, Shu Tong's reputation became well-known throughout the party and army.

He Xiangning once said: "The Kuomintang has two pens, the Kuomintang has Yu Youren, and the Communist Party has Shu Tong. I prefer Shu Tong."

Running script was developed on the basis of official script. It is a font between regular script and cursive script. It was created to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the difficulty of identifying cursive script. "行" means "walking", so it is not as sloppy as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. In essence, it is the cursiveization of regular script or the regularization of cursive script. Those with more regular script than cursive script are called "Xing Kai", and those with more cursive script than regular script are called "Xing Cao".
